Heeey I'm finally going to start cleaning out the archive! Happy day! It's only been... most of a year!

As a result of the really... really long while it's been since I've purged the unwanted content from the archives, I'm going to try to delete as much shit as possible as quickly as possible. This means no more funny comments, unfortunately (except for really egregious threads), and I'm going to cull pretty much everything in the red.

I made myself some new tools to make it easier to cull shit, so hopefully I'll get rid of more, faster, and more accurately (e.g. easily removing all threads tagged "troll"). As usual, I'll put everything deleted into a graveyard first to allow people to save copies of anything they think deserves saving.

NOBAMA (-13 after 15 votes): A troll thread was posted on several boards. On /k/, it got 17 replies. On /po/ it only got one. /an/ let it 404 without comment. On /tg/? 150+ replies and counting. This thread has been archived as a painful reminder of the depths that /tg/, greatest of the imageboards, can fall to.

Dragons in human society/Flarefag gives up (-11 after 13 votes): A relatively interesting troll topic that was eventually derailed. But the truly amazing thing here was the ending, where the flarefag cracked. This eventually lead to him/her/it no longer bumping the thread. Exemplary.

Gimme something to put on that and you stand a damn good chance of getting it on an honest to goodness BT cover that you can later point it out to your buddies. its got to be something that fits on the barrel and is still legible and it can't be something that is too obvious. any volunteers?

(-10 after 10 votes): Hey /tg/, One of my friends was all "You should look into this V:tM thing. It seems like it'd be something you'd like." So I decided to come to you guys to ask about it. How's it compare to standard DnD 3.5? Any major similarities or differences? If I'm used to playing in RP heavy DnD games will that be an asset or a hindrence to my enjoyment of this? Thank you in advance /tg/

I was idly pondering whether you were going to cull the saved Dark Heresy character collection too, what with some 30+ pages of entries. I know there are at least a few of mine in there that I forgot to save the URL of when I made them.

Would there be any way to combine every recent Drawfriend thread, culling anything that wasn't drawn for /tg/? That way there'd be one thread for everything, in case anyone is searching for something from a thread. A quick find search could net the picture one is looking for rather easily without needed to run said search through 15 different threads.

You might want to consider getting rid of 5024439 as well, what with it's score of negative 74 and being worthless and all. It was put in thread collections because of mistagging, which I would assume is why you missed it.

Also, what does scrape as in "Please DO NOT SCRAPE THE ARCHIVES" mean?

@Emo_Duck: I could probably kill a year's worth or so, but it doesn't really affect anything having them other than no semblance of organization. I'd hate to delete a character sheet someone was using, but in all fairness why the hell has their character not been altered in over a year?

@SomeRandomGuy: If someone grabs links and puts them into a .rar or .zip for me, I'll just put them in the images section. If I find a particularly good thread while I'm killing things I might do it myself, but it's unlikely at this point due to sheer volume.

@dinosapien: Give me candy

@7: I've been meaning to kill that one forever, and just never got around to it. It's gone now.

"Scraping" means to use a script to automatically download entire copies of the archive - every single images in every single thread, ever. As you can imagine, this is rather worthless and a gigantic waste of time and bandwidth for everyone involved. I can understand someone grabbing a copy of a single thread, which is fine, but I've had to block IPs that were clearly downloading full images from the archive thread-by-thread.

@monotreeme: If the content of those threads is really worthwhile, pull out the best stories and put them on 1d4chan somewhere. The impression I got from them is just SO RONERY/SO FAPFIC but I'm sure there are a few gems that should be preserved.

oh, I have saved all of them(total file size 7.27MB), regardless of some of the less good work. I am saddened because I liked those threads and I count every one(that I start) that makes it here through someone else as a compliment. I'll deny that I ever fapped to any of them, but this is the internet so you don't have to believe me.

"But the epic fail threads are just as awesome to read as the epic win threads! Why should they be deleted?"

Myself and most people I've talked to think differently, finding them to be both a total waste of time to read and an annoyance to slog through when looking for good threads. Most of the so-called "epic fail" was just fail; if you need an epic fail thread of that nature, there will be at least one up on /tg/ at pretty much every moment of the day. The epic fail threads that were truly epic and/or really fun to read got positive votes.

"Why did you delete all the troll threads? One of the best things about /tg/ is that it takes troll threads and makes them good!"

You did read the list of things not to archive, right?

Besides /tg/ is too easily trolled these days and usually just rages hard instead of turning the troll thread around. Short of the epic Kender players suck thread there hasn't been a good reversed troll thread in a while.

Like Blargh said, an epic fail thread worth saving would have looped around from terrible to awesome and garnered positive votes; the threads being deleted were just shitty. Bad threads that get a chuckle are a dime a dozen. Genuinely entertaining trainwrecks are rare.

The same goes for the troll threads. Yes, yes, /tg/ is fueled by rage, har har, but unlike actively participating, it's not really that much fun to read later. They're also extremely common. This is the only rare exception that's made me chuckle is this one:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/4878401/

I think people forget that the archive isn't for *every* thread on /tg/, it should be for the *best* threads on /tg/. Of the OVER FOUR THOUSAND entries, I've cleaned out a couple hundred of the worst-rated pieces of crap. Yes, everyone being trolled by sergals and Flare and whatever was funny for a while, but do you honestly think back wistfully and wish you could relive any thread where a dozen people bawwwed over the Two Minutes Hate flavor of the month?

And for threads like the random rolling fapfic ones, if there's genuinely good content there, wouldn't it be better-organized on 1d4chan than scattered through a dozen threads? I certainly don't mind them being here, especially if it's more or less a temporary holding area so someone can come back later and cull the cream from the dungheap. But in the end, people voted it down, not up. So it goes.

This conversation is full of people who archive shit only they like and consider funny (because they wrote it, most likely, and are now furiously masturbating thinking about how popular they are on the Internet).

Could you wait a few days while I gather what stories I can from these? I'm mostly gathering from the monster girl story threads.It takes me about an hour per thread to do most at best, so please, don't delete them just yet.

I would've gathered them sooner, but I thought that you would just keep them archived.

@29I have saved all of the threads, if the good lord licorice deletes the graveyard I'll post a mediafire file of them in the next thread, that'll hit the archive and stay for a bit so you can just download the whole shebang.

@34: "LL, maybe you should change the "DO NOT ARCHIVE" section to include fapfics and (name/trip)fag roleplay threads."

More importantly, put the "DO NOT ARCHIVE" section up top, right next to the archive submission form, instead of below the thread list. I mean, we just had ANOTHER porn dump get archived, and it's quickly being downvoted by people sick of having those archived, but still. I've mentioned in some generic pic dump threads where people are calling for archival that clearly "Don't archive pic dumps" is there for a reason, and they respond like they've never seen that before.
